Baldness is not a sickness. It is a genetic pattern. It has its' advantages and disadvantages. (I think you are refering to Patrick Stewart's baldness) Today many people shave their heads for varius reasons.
Not sure I get what you mean by irony here. Nothing wrong with Trekie or Treker, I just prefer one over the other. btw, as silly as this may sound, like many people, I am not sure I fully understand what irony truely is.

I suppose the possibility of mass extinctions while we twitter away precious time is getting me down.
I'll try and be more positive. Thanks Danny. -Mary Mowder |

Do you mean fiddling while Rome burned?
The Black Death? The Holocaust? And on and on. Heck if you ask me yea things are NOT perfect by a long shot. But dark times? Sorry not for my way of thinking. Room to grow? ABSOLUTELY! But still humanity has come a long way. To me this is the problem with retreating into a fantasy world and comparing it to reality. It completely ignores the greatness of humanity in the first place. ANY comparison to a "fantasy world" like Star Trek had better lose. After all it is a made up fantasy and it never tells you how the sausage is made. It just assumes the world exists like that and you accept it for that and bamo fantasy world wins. Life is not like that. I prefer life.

See nobody told you anything. I ASKED a question . Then pointed out why we may not be in dark times.
Whatever.

It is an old con, or sales technique, which they call a puppy dog sale over here. i.e. “If you are not sure then take it and try it out and then decide!”
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

I watched the second episode. After seeing it, I've no idea where this series is going.
And, anyway, what part of "Just a flyby" (in the first episode) did the stupid First officer not understand? Also, anyone notice the bottle of Chateau Picard wine in the Captain's ready room? https://www.thewinesociety.com/grower-profile-chateau-picard

CBS is offering All Access free for 1 week. Once Star Trek: Discovery has completed it's run, I 'may' sign up for the free week and binge watch the show. Otherwise, not interested.

I still remember attending a Star Trek convention. It was called a Creation-Con where the guest of honor was George Takei. From firsthand experience, I know it to be true what they say about Mr.Takei's smile-- that when he enters the room, he brings the Sun in with him.
By the way-- Am I still considered to be a Treker even if I love TOS only? |

That awkward moment when the parody is a better new Star Trek than the new Star Trek.

I like Orville as well.
We shouldn't judge Star Trek Discovery too quickly. It often takes several episodes for a series to catch it's stride. It is hard not to compare them because they've come out at the same time. Luckily, we don't have to choose between the two. -Mary Mowder |

Thanks for that Mary. How many people remember Counselor Troy as she first appeared? She grew to be one of my favorite characters on STNG. Originally Marina Sertis was either guilty of terrible acting, or she had not fully worked out her character yet. Maybe both. (admittedly it could have been the fault of bad directing too) But she grew fast. Lets give the show a chance.... At least when I finally see it.

Yep, I must admit Counselor Troy was the one I was thinking of when I posted.

The 4th episode was good, too. I won't say too much more, because I don't want people upset about us posting spoilers.
